CNET Review
The Good: The Linksys WUSBF54G is a highly configurable dual 802.11b/g wireless adapter and hot-spot detector. It comes with a docking cradle, well-ordered documentation, and a long warranty.

The Bottom Line: From its comprehensive documentation to its docking cradle, the Linksys WUSBF54G has all of its bases covered, making it a smart choice for travelers seeking a good Wi-Fi hot-spot detector/adapter combo.
